like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. {This teaching from the Word of God clearly tells us that anyone that does these things, practices sin and unrighteousness in their lives, will NOT inherit the kingdom of God. They simply will NOT be found worthy in the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ to receive the glorification of the Saints in Light, the "better resurrection" spoken of by the Word in Hebrews 11:35.

same judgment reserved for the "children of disobedience"? If this is not so, the warnings from the Word of God, and especially in Ephesians 5:6-7, are not only misleading, they are impossible. One thing is very clear, either some Christian ministries/ denominations are in grave error, or God's Word is in grave error. The Bible tells us: "Let God be true and every man a liar." Romans 3:4. Psalms Chapter Twelve Ps 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33 (Jesus Christ to His disciples.) "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away." Philipians 2:12

Ephesians Chapter One

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom

(The Apostle Paul to the Christian Church at Philipi.)

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Is it not clear that the Word of God teaches that a Christian can be found unworthy to "inherit" the kingdom of God, that this results in missing out on resurrection glory and heaven itself? In like manner,, does this not result in "partaking" of the Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 2Corinthians 6:17-18
(The Apostle Paul to the Church at Corinth.)

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. I Thesalonians 5:21
(The Apostle Paul to the Church in Thesalonica.)

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Proverbs 3:5-8 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. {The word "earnest" means the first payment, first fruits, or a deposit, with promise to pay in full at a later date. The fulfillment of this promise from God is destined to take place in the future in the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians ch.1) NEXT: What is the "purchased possession" spoken of in verse 14 ?}

Acts Chapter Twenty

Ac 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. {The "church of God" is the "purchased possession". This church is said to be the spiritual "body of Christ" in Ephesians 4; Colossians 1:18; etc. NEXT: What is this inheritance spoken of in Ephesians chapter 1 ?}

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. {The "inheritance" of the Saints of God is destined to be a Spiritual transformation, the physical-mortal body being supernaturally changed, by the power of God working through the Holy Spirit and according to the Word of prophesy. NEXT: What did Jesus say about this "inheritance" of transformation and immortality?}

39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. {The Lord Jesus Christ tells us of this "inheritance" of the Saints who are found "worthy". Receiving this "inheritance" makes all the difference in the "world to come". If one receives it through faithfulness to Christ, the Word of God, one is transformed into angelic glory forever more and can never die. If one is not found "worthy" of this "inheritance", one remains unchanged and therefore cannot be part of a heavenly eternity. NEXT: What will keep a man from receiving this heavenly "inheritance"?}

First Corinthians Chapter Six

[This book is written to the church of God at Corinth and is therefore written to Saints of God, Christ's church.]

The Gospel of Luke Chapter Twenty

Lu 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. {It is written : "All unrighteousness is sin." 1 John 5:17. "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." John 8:34. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20. Unrighteousness/sin keeps a soul from the "inheritance" of worthy Saints of God. NEXT: Are there other testimonies from Scripture that support this teaching?}

First Corinthians Chapter Fifteen

[This book is also written to the Saints of God in the Spiritual Body of Christ Jesus]

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
